I'm trying Power Beam 5AC Gen2 and unsure about the optimal channel. If someone has experience, let me know how they decide which channel works best.

Choose the device with no competing equipment. The safest option is to download a WiFi scanner app on your phone and check the signal environment. 5GHz offers better performance since fewer devices operate there. It also provides shorter range in most cases, reducing interference risks.

Search for any channel that’s free from interference. Since no single one stands out more than all others, it’s hard to pick just one.
